(not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, just don't expect any handling improvement.)

My Ride: 2006 550i w/ sport package: bone stock :(
2006 Yamaha R-6exy Raven: Fully Loaded Track weapon
2004 Ducati 749 Testaretta: Fully Loaded
two other family cars that I dont care to mention, lol!
IMHO, its a waste of money! the stock strut bar is well sufficient enough!

I don't see how it could hurt, plus it isn't bad looking and it is super cheap for all that machined aluminum.
They are VERY different things!

They are VERY different things! True. I would say a mixture of both, I really doubt that the way those two allen bolts snug up to the machined shock mounts would add a noticeable amount of rigidity. But for $80 it's almost a 'why not?' purchase, if it doesn't work out at least you have some moderate engine dressing. I couldn't imagine, however, a circumstance where much beyond the stock handling of the E60 would be needed - at least for street driving. Having sport suspension and 20's makes my car pretty fun getting onto onramps, but the fun ends there because I like my license.
